Fa La La La La La...........

Well everyday I swear this will be the day that I am done....but STILL not quite yet. Most of the totes are packed away again...a few stragglers are left. I have neglected some house cleaning so that is on the to do list. PLEASE people tell me you are NOT done...please?????? Throw me a bone. Friday we went to get our tree....and after several hours and a good 80 miles round trip we were still empty handed. YEP. Struck out. I came home and cried myself to sleep. See we live in the land of PINES....so we thought we would venture out to find a fir. It didn't happen...we went on old logging roads and no dream plump tree did we find. We had already bought the permit...and did not want to break down and buy one from a lot. They never last as long. Well dh went out the next day and went hiking for one...it is not my dream tree but it will have to do. OHHH yeah and the dang thing fell over....AFTER I had got all my ribbons, baubles etc on it...last night..........CRrrrrrrrrPLUNK. SIGH. Well the old girl is up now....TIED to the wall. Wanted to share some more tidbits here and there....and a "little wood tree project"...covered with papers and embellished. I tucked it among my old door knobs. Well tomorrow I SWEAR...things will be done. How about you? Night, night! Cherry

Tis the season to be jolly...Hi Cherry! I laughed reading your post because we tied our tree to the baseboard to secure it-My husband said a little puddy would fix the baseboard up after the tree comes down!I love all your decor!Robin~♥

I've read more blogs where the tree fell over, so don't feel alone! I just put decorations out yesteday, so I'm right there with ya. We're not even attempting a tree because of a 4 month old sweetheart named Newman who would be in that tree in 3 seconds flat!

Your stuff is so pretty. I love your pictures! Ok, no you know that "we" are never really done. We are always tweaking or adding from a sale, and then we have to try out the stuff from the after Christmas sale...and the ball rolls on. I hope you are enjoying the bone I sent you!

Everything looks amazing!! you are soooooo uber talented girly! I love that tree, thats the die for cute! and I love the colors! and the Santa sign on your hutch is fabulous too! you have such an amazing eye and such creativity too!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Morning Cherry! I love all your pics but especially love the santa banner and paper/wood tree!!! No you are not alone in this too much decorating not enough cleaning thing!!! I know the tree falling thing too - I lost some of my grandmother's ornaments that way! Hope everything wasn't destroyed on you! I did have a nice time at the party, thanks!! Well my break is over (I think?lol) so back to trying to pull it all together! Have a fun day - Sincerely, Jeannette

This should make you feel better...I don't even have my tree up! We just got everything out of the shed last night, so you're way ahead of me!

The pics are gorgeous! I always love your stuff. The "SANTA" banner is so stinkin' cute! I've gotta make me one of those...you know, after I put my tree up, and send out the Christmas Cards, and bake some cookies...and build a gingerbread house...and wrap the presents...

What is it with tree mishaps this year? I've been reading about it in blogland on a few blogs now. Hmm~ knocking on wood my Miss Priss doesn't tip my tree over b/c I fear I'm next!Your pics are awesome, as always. You truly have a way of capturing your displays.Merry December hun~ Les

Hey there! :)So sorry you couldn't find the right tree AND that it fell down, especially after it was decorated!But, your house is looking lovely~ so Christmas-y and cheery! I have just started decorating; I am really running behind! :) (I'm kind of pulling my hair out!)

I love everything you showed! I love that Christmas tree and Santa banner. So cute! My tree fell over too. What is up with that this year. I know of a couple more people that has happened to. I am glad you found a tree though!

Cherry, love that embellished tree, how cute. No I'm not done, and had that same thought...I should be...but I keep looking and think 'oh I better do this' and that doesn't look good....I need more ribbon...where's the tinsel...and on and on! Don't worry about it. Women love the process of fixin' things and decoratin' things...enjoy!blessings,Debbie

LoL! Sorry about your tree! Our problem at my house is one...our granddaugther that is almost three keeps re-decorating and un-decorating the tree, It is now bare from half way down, and... two the cats think it must have been put there just for them! Your Christmas decorations all look wonderful and... Your blog is one of my fav's!~Smiles~Tam!
